One-on-one romance | Both leads are each other's first and only | Campus | Silly, sweet romance | Locals in the book's world
[Max-level fighter, bold and clueless about love] × [Wary, distant, woman-averse ice-cold campus heartthrob]
Xiao Ran is an insignificant background character in a novel, barely worth half a line of description. Then she is unexpectedly bound to a System and tasked with saving the world.
Her mission is to win over the original male lead, Gu Yanzhi, take the heroine's place, and keep the story on track.
Xiao Ran kisses Gu Yanzhi in a grove. “Gu Yanzhi, date me.”
Gu Yanzhi frowns in disgust. “Are you crazy?”
“I'm perfectly healthy. Thanks for asking.”
Xiao Ran comes from a prominent family, is a sanda champion, and has incredible fighting skills, but she's clueless about love.
Everyone is intimidated by Gu Yanzhi's cold, woman-averse demeanor and stays well away.
But she's famous for taking on the toughest challenges. She doesn't bother with tricks, just makes her intentions clear and charges straight in.
Gu Yanzhi is a third-year business administration student and the campus heartthrob. He's been woman-averse for years and keeps everyone at arm's length.
He's convinced that every girl who approaches him has an ulterior motive, until he meets Xiao Ran.
She doesn't grovel or cling to him. Her reckless affection is pure and sincere, and little by little, it breaks through the defenses he's kept up for so long.
Later, Gu Yanzhi pins her against a tree, his eyes full of possessiveness as he teases her in a low voice:
“You were so bold when you ambushed me in the grove. So, do you want to officially be with me now?”
Xiao Ran lifts her chin, full of confidence. “Of course. I'm afraid someone would cry if I said no.”
Gu Yanzhi chuckles and tightens his embrace. “Yeah. If you say no, I'll cry right here in front of you.”
It's so beautiful, why doesn't anyone see it?
